Affordable Bender review

Not a bad machine. Depending on what you need this for it works excellent. If I wind up making more involved builds, I may need to upgrade to a bender capable of bending up to 180 degrees. Affordable Bender link below...looks like price is up to 389.00$$

A couple of comments for anyone who might run across this review. As someone noted below, the reason that he couldn't insert the tubing is that the die was not returned as far as it will go. I had to shorten the extension screw on top of the ram to allow mine to return far enough to insert the tubing. All tubing will need to be slightly over bent to allow for the elasticity of the tubing. Also, all tubing will have some spring back (different from elasticity). Spring back means a 7" center line radius die may produce a a 7 1/2" actual bend radius. Example : Wrap some wire tightly around a pencil. Let it go. The diameter increases slightly. That's spring back. The take up distance needs to be tested. The center line bend radius distance for a 90 degree bend must be known. Test bends will give you all of this. Also, mount the bender to your work table and save yourself some aggravation! Oh, get yourself a magnetic digital level that measures relative angles. You won't be sorry. This bender is good value for the money in my opinion.

Thanks for the video man! I've been thinking of a tube bender for a long time, and just have trouble dropping a grand on a JD2 with stand, die, and ram. This thing looks like a great starter bender, to get you into the game without a ton of money invested. Thanks for taking the time to review it!

[@jasonbirch1182]

The reason you can't load it Is because it's not returning to 0°. Put a spring to pull it to return to zero.

[@Tomc8030]

Thank you for posting this video, I’m looking at buying a bender and this one will fit my needs after watching your video…..Those incomplete horrible welds are what they are! but I can fix them….. FYI it looks like someone stood back about 50 paces and shot those welds on using a slingshot and a can of JB weld!

[@scantronsgarage]

Your welcome! Glad it helped you make a decision. This thing is still in good working order for me. I have since bought a JD Squared model as well

[@johnlauchner6342]

Loved the video with all of the helpful tips and tricks VERY HELPFUL 👍 but, two words .....chop saw, lol but thanks for the video I was on the fence with that model but I think I can make it work with some simple upgrades and some tinkering, peace !

[@scantronsgarage]

yes need a chop saw

[@moneywalker55]

Blessed rise King. Just realized I wasn't subscribed. My humbled apologies. More health and strength.

[@marka.2715]

Thanks for clearing up my confusion about if the die works on pipe and dom or only dom. I knew the pipes differed in size but I had trouble figuring this out as the website wasn't real helpful.

[@scantronsgarage]

You are welcome

[@brdnsky6417]

Thanks for the info. Ronnie.

[@alexadames9390]

Really great video, thanks for sharing and hints on making it better.

[@ronbanks1331]

Spray with Pam spray or lubricant. Also ad hight to the edge of the bottom shim

[@scantronsgarage]

ok. good idea thanks!

[@jdwisdom9433]

Good demonstration but could have done without the "music". Nice start on a set of guns, keep up the good work and you'll get there. Thanks JD

[@scantronsgarage]

thanks! ill work on toning down the music

[@jbsprojects8186]

These benders dies are 7" radius....not tight enough for a main hoop....won't be tight and wilp look sloppy...

[@mrtngmz82]

Check that you're truly zero'd out. Adjust the jack, rotating like a screw until you zero out. Material should slide in

[@scantronsgarage]

thanks! the more i used it the better i understood it

[@kirbylee57]

Reminds me of the tens of thousands of dollars I spent on race cars when I was young. Sometimes I look back and see how foolish I was pouring all my money in a car so I could go faster in a circle than the other guys, and sometimes I did. It might have been stupid to spend all my money on a car that went fast, but it damn sure was a lot of fun. That was thirty years ago. Somethings are best done when your young, because you simply cant when you get old, and unless you die, you're going to get old. Its not that bad really, but getting old aint for pussies. Race car drivers bitch about it more than women.

[@sgtbigtoe7640]

Great Review 👍

[@luciankristov6436]

Awesome thanks for the info man. Im buying one.

[@scantronsgarage]

lucian kristov glad it helped! Good luck with it

[@ldnwholesale8552]

That bender is very average, the bend is way too wide for a rollcage bend. AFAIK also most if not all governing bodies insist on 1 3/4 at least for main hoops on all sedan type cars.

[@bigmac1k97]

The welds on that bender are trash, thanks for the review but man... poor craftsmanship

[@Gizawar]

Not bad for that price

[@scantronsgarage]

Not at all. im done bending the cage parts up currently. it held up well

[@damnitdang]

Can it do Lil over 90 degree to compensate spring back

[@scantronsgarage]

no it just makes 90 after spring back

[@fishtail3052]

Not tight enough way too wide in my opinion

[@takealook4me]

Who makes this bender

[@scantronsgarage]

The company is named affordable bender

[@billgatesc1072]

So does the bend start at 0? Or does the bend start at the strap? Or end of the die? I'm trying to use bend tech software and it shows this to be a 9" clr but I'm not sure where to start.

[@scantronsgarage]

the bend starts at the inside portion of the strap. Make a bend with some scrap to help you better calculate. I think i go over more of this in my roll cage videos

[@nicholasjheinz7461]

Thanks for the review. Based on video I would not purchase this bender. It distorted the metal in the bend to much.

[@mikecondoluci53]

good machine for the price but you need alot of time

[@scantronsgarage]

Agreed. And it only makes an 89 degree bend

[@MrPlumber27]

I broke mine the first time i used it . It is a piece a shite !! First time no lie !!! It is total crap . So i bought the 11,000 dollar USD one .

[@budgetbuiltmusclecars5861]

1.5 inch is not legal

[@flyonbyya]

You gonna use moly or mild steel for the cage ?

[@scantronsgarage]

mild steel

[@wht240sxka]

Harbor freight tube kinker 😂

[@scottpetrie8707]

Yup garbage.

[@HilaryMcLeod-fg4zq]

That same tube bender is $500 on Amazon today. Thanks Joe biden

[@scantronsgarage]

Oh wow. Thats a steal !

[@thrashmetal7588]

Complete garbage!

[@073731002]

im looking to do a tube front end on my s13, think this will do as a starter bender?

[@scantronsgarage]

This is a great starter bender. I made a full cage with it

[@073731002]

@@scantronsgarage i picked up the bender not long after i messaged you but im having troubles in knowing where the bend will start, how are you measuring your tube so you can know where your bend starts?
